The Chinese horoscope is the oldest lunar calendar is known in history and its origins date back to 2637 BC when Chinese Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the zodiac in the year 61 of his reign. Each cycle takes 60 years and met and consists of five cycles of 12 years each. The cycle began on 78 February 1984 and end in 2044.
According to legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to bid them farewell before he ascended into heaven, but only twelve were to say goodbye, and as a reward the Buddha called each year with the names of the animals in the order they were coming to meet your friends. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit or Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar or Pig finally. Thus arose the twelve names and Chinese think that each of them has a special influence in our lives, "the animal that hides in each heart."

During the cycle these animals also roam the five elements are wood (ruled by the planet Jupiter), fire (ruled by Mars), Earth (ruled by Saturn), metal or gold (ruled by Venus) and water (ruled by Mercury). The matches or matches are interrelated with the action of the planets and the characteristics of the animal, so we have, for example, Wood Ox or Ox Fire, or Earth and so on. The current year corresponds to the water element, so the February 10, 2013 we enter the Year of the Water Snake.
